Chapter 684 - Creativity Contes
Zhu Junyang almost wanted to vomit blood. Just when did he ever bully this stinky brat? Clearly, the one being bullied was him, alright??? 'My delicate little heart has been wounded too heavily. I need a hug, I need some pets, I need some comforting, otherwise, I can't go on!!'
On the other hand, Little Shitou was so delighted by this turn of events that he proudly gave Zhu Junyang a knowing look and grinned in a cute way, "Second Sister is the best! Looks like the one that you love the most is still me! With those words, who would dare try to bully me?"
"Childish!" At his age, he still wanted to act spoiled in front of his older sister. The most annoying part was that this brat was acting spoiled in front of his wife. Zhu Junyang didn't want to admit that he was feeling incredibly jealous now!
Yu Xiaocao could feel the fury coming off of her husband as if it would solidify at any moment. She knew now that she had to spend a lot of effort to comfort this beast when they got back home. After conversing a bit longer with her younger brother, she finally gave out her invitation, "Three days from now, my residence will be holding the first 'tasting delicacies event' and I need a few young scholars to act as judges. At that time, you can invite a few of your good friends over."
"Tasting delicacies event? Is this related to eating good food ah? You absolutely have to keep this on the down low, otherwise I'm afraid your entire residence would be filled to bursting!" Whenever he remembered the cacophony that was his birthday banquet, Little Shitou always felt some lingering fear. It had originally been planned to be a small family feast, so who would have thought that they would have to reserve the entire Medicinal Cuisine House in order to have enough food to feed all of the guests that had come over?
Yu Xiaocao simply described the event she was planning. It was just an event where the young maidens of the inner courtyard would make some delicious and creative desserts. Those desserts would be sent out to the outer courtyard, where the youths could judge them and decide which ones took first, second, and third place. Those maidens who placed in the top three would naturally get a prize. As for the prizes, Yu Xiaocao had already come up with a good idea. She was planning on giving a membership card to 'Creative Pastries' to the winners. This membership card gave them the privilege of getting half off everything at 'Creative Pastries'!
Oh ho, even the prizes were being used to advertise her not-opened next business! With this type of boss, did her businesses ever have to worry about not being popular?
......
Zhu Junyang was unhappy, extremely unhappy! This period right after being married was supposed to be for the two of them to spend in bliss together. However, his new bride was ignoring him!
Ever since they got back to the estate after visiting her maternal home, his little wife had become extremely busy. First, she summoned over some craftsmen to build five large ovens and stoves in the back garden. Then, she brought over all of the employees from her dessert and pastry shop to undergo some strict training. All of the servants in their residence had been ordered completely around by his wife, who was immensely enjoying all of this.
As the chief stewards of the inner courtyard and affairs, Meixiang and Liu Dequan did their utmost during this time period. This was the first time that Imperial Prince Xu's Estate was holding a big event and all of the upper class noble maidens, matrons, and noblemen would be attending. Thus, they needed to make sure everything was done perfectly in order to avoid the estate's reputation from being stained. As for the steward in charge of purchasing, he was even more cautious. Every day he would consult with the princess consort's store manager, Yangliu, as he was afraid that he might miss some important ingredient necessary for the event.
